A supporting character in a romance anime? I became a god using a rat talisman.

What reason do you have to save me?

Qianyu crouched down to be at eye level with her.

"Don't overthink it. I never do anything that doesn't benefit me. Of course, there are conditions for saving you."

Camilla's eyes narrowed slightly.

"What are the conditions?"

"It's very simple."

Qianyu pointed to the ground beneath her feet.

"I need you to stay on this island and keep an eye on that thing underground."

"Notify me immediately if it shows any signs of waking up."

Camilla stared at him blankly, not expecting that Qianyu would propose this condition.

Then, with a sinister smile, she probed, "Aren't you afraid I'll betray you? What if one day I regain my power and join forces with that thing to deal with you?"

"After all, I've hated you for thirty million years."

"You can give it a try."

Faced with this probing attack laced with intense killing intent, Qianyu stood up and looked down at the silver-haired girl on the ground.

"If you think you're tough enough, you're welcome to try betraying me anytime."

"I can use these hands to knock you down for the first time."

"I absolutely have the ability to beat you down a second and a third time."

"But by then, I won't leave you any light to heal your wounds."

Camilla stared at him for several seconds, then laughed even harder.

do not know why.

Surprisingly, she didn't dislike the feeling of being threatened at all.

"interesting."

"You are completely different from who you were 30 million years ago," you would never have said such a thing back then.

Qianyu didn't respond; she was simply doing some calculations.

He had his own reasons for choosing to keep Camilla.

That eerie black aura has already begun causing trouble all over the world, and R'lyeh is just one aspect of it. And what about him? He doesn't have a single capable subordinate.

Valmont is a money-grubbing information broker and a double agent; Aya Asagiri is a defective product who can't even use monsters properly; Medea is usable, but she's a strategic resource for crafting the Holy Grail, not a nobody. She's just an idle advisor.

All things considered, he can't even muster a team of elderly, weak, sick, or disabled people.

Camilla is, after all, an ancient monster with 30 million years of experience in battle. Most importantly, according to the original setting, this woman is a severely yandere with a morbid obsession with Tiga.

When dealing with this kind of yandere ex-girlfriend, the more you go along with her, the more she will think you are weak and easy to bully; the more you use absolute force to crush her and order her around, the more her loyalty will be ridiculously high.

Instead of blindly guarding against that dark aura outside, it would be better to plant a powerful informant at the scene of the incident.

This is called maximizing waste utilization.

"OK."

Camilla slowly sat up, and the golden light particles had completely stopped dissipating.

"I'll take this job. I'll keep an eye on that guy while you're away."

Before Qianyu could nod, she changed the subject, her tone becoming slightly coquettish and resentful.

"However, I have one additional condition."

Qianyu frowned slightly.

"explain."

"This island is so boring."

Camilla walked up to him, getting a little too close, and her eyes suddenly became glazed.

"In return, you must visit me every three days."

"Otherwise, I can't guarantee I won't do something out of sheer boredom."

Qianyu glanced at her, utterly speechless.

Is this woman serious? A 30 million-year-old monster, actually needs company?

Just as he was about to say something, his phone rang at the most inopportune moment.

Qianyu took out her phone and glanced at the caller ID.

Valon.

He answered the phone.

Genshin Impact activated!

Valon's familiar voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Hello? What's up, Valmont?"

"Mr. Kazama."

Valon's voice, tinged with a British accent, came through the receiver.

"I have good news to tell you."

"What good news?"

"The dragon talisman has been obtained and is ready for delivery at any time."

Qianyu's eyes lit up instantly.

This news is like a pillow being delivered to you just as you're about to fall asleep!

What is his biggest headache right now?

My disguise has been exposed!

Eight billion people around the world know him as Kazama Chiba, a monster who can transform into monsters and Ultraman!

His true identity has been completely exposed, and netizens have even uncovered the address of Sakigawa High School.

What does the dragon talisman represent?

blasting?

No, in Qianyu's eyes, it represented an inexhaustible source of magic power!

With the Dragon Talisman, he could use it in conjunction with card elimination to trigger a large-scale memory alteration, completely erasing everyone's memory of his true identity from today's live stream.

Erase the memory of "Kazama Chiba equals Ultraman Tiga" from the minds of all mankind.

"Well done, Valon."

Chiyu was generous with her praise.

"Now that you've got it, send it over immediately."

"this……"

however.

Valon, however, did not agree as readily as usual on the other end of the phone; he hesitated for a moment.

"Mr. Kazama, I'm afraid that won't work."

"What's wrong?"

"The Holy Lord seems to have noticed something amiss. Lately, he's been questioning me about the whereabouts of the Sheep Talisman and is frantically urging me to hand over the talisman I've obtained."

"If I send the dragon talisman out now, it might expose me."

Qianyu frowned.

"So what do you mean?"

"I would appreciate it if you could make a trip to San Francisco yourself."

There was a hint of apology in Valon's voice.

"We should hand it over in person; that's the safest way."

Chapter 172 Holy Lord

Meeting in person in San Francisco?

Qianyu remained silent for a moment.

Valon, that old fox, is always meticulous in his actions, but now he's been forced to meet with her in person. It seems the pressure from Shendu is indeed considerable.

Going to San Francisco isn't a big problem.

Firstly, the dragon talisman is extremely important.

And with his current strength, so what if it really is a trap? He can easily defeat even ancient giants from 30 million years ago, so why would he be afraid of a fire stone that doesn't even have a body?

With the right cards in hand, I have the world at my fingertips.

"OK."

Qianyu readily agreed.

Send me the address and time.

Valon gave the specific address.

"As for the specific time, just let me know when you arrive, and I'll be waiting for you there."

"Okay, I'll be there in two hours. You wait for me there."

Qianyu hung up the phone and turned to look at Camilla.

"I have to go somewhere."
